Vape-heads? Do You Vape?

[spritzerJ]

Thanks Loren_Q for the all VG info. I was noticing the flavors are pretty mellow. I will do extra flavor next round.

I am liking my berry/peppermint blends. And the sweet flavors taste yummy. So subtle. Maybe waiting longer (steeping) will help a bit.

I was wondering if I should have one liquid that had a wee bit of nicotine for a rough spot. Something to think about.

Going to do some more investigating. The General is pleased by the smells. She would love it if I stayed quit.

spritzer!

I added a little mint to my strawberry-watermelon vape and it was awesome!

I just noticed this thread and I thought I'd chime in with my observations. I use a Joytech eGo-C to vape. My juice of preference in "vanilla menthol", and I use the next to lowest nicotine level. One thing I definitely noticed is that one has to inhale differently - much less force, and shorter puffs. I had gotten to the point where I only smoked two cigs per day (one with coffee in the morning, and one after dinner). I've kinda fallen off the wagon, but I'm getting back in the vaping groove now. I actually find it much better than smoking and I can certainly feel the (good) effects when I exercise.

Today I am convinced to keep the juice nicotine free. Thanks for sharing your success Medusa. Rereading the juice warnings about the poisonous nature of nicotine is a good reminder.

The stuck inside blizzard weather is helping me bond with the little vapor. I am standing out side with it occasionally. But that is just me shaping my behavior and pairing the ecig with my usual routines.

There are 4 vapers (vaporers?) in my office. A couple of the guys will vape at their desks, it makes a few of the other co-workers freak out because they'll see smoke coming out of their cubes.

Personally, I'm trying to maintain my 'smoking' habits, so I don't often vape at my desk and will go out with the smokers... unless I'm having a really bad day. On those bad days I'll steer clear of the smokers (cause I'm afraid I'll bum one) I do notice I'll go vape my brains out in the hallway.

I've gotten the other vapers to go outside with me, keeps that social, break from work thing going.

We had a rainy spell just a while ago, and there I was, standing inside the lobby watching my co-workers huddled under the ledge smoking... Not missing that!

Best of luck with no nic. When I got my starter kit I started with no nic and that was great. I vaped when I felt the craving and was fairly satisfied.

Then a couple of weeks in I had some emotional upheaval and ordered prefilled cartos with the lowest nic level. I did this because that was when 4 of the 6 cigarettes I've smoked happened. I figured my vaping habits mimic enough, but my brain wants something more.

Once the low nic came in, I did much better. The emotional upheaval did get worse, but I was able to limit to 2 cigs. I don't know if it's cause I've got low nic or what, but any improvement is good.

Right now my juice is split, half is low nic, the other no nic. Today's been all no nic and I've been fine.

I found a local kiosk at Lloyd Center in Portland, Nic Station. I am so grateful, because I have spent the last few weeks reading, reading, reading and watching video after video. I just could not make a decision, and I was afraid I would order incorrectly.

The local kiosk let me try several setups, many flavors, and gave me mucho discounts on a combo purchase. I ended up with two complete sets and extras, which included:

2 10 hour batteries and variable voltage.
Car/home charger
Travel charger (portable power source, that when fully charged can charge phone, laptop, vape, Kindle and more)
1 50ml Cuba, I can't explain the flavor of this, but it is smooth
1 50ml Blueberry Champagne
Carrying case
4 cartomizers
2 purple tanks with included cartomizers and tips

I am enjoying the Cuba now, and I am really digging the throat hit. I am using the nicotine type, I'm not ready to give that up today, but I will soon enough. Baby steps.

Nic Station has a website, but it is not up yet. They said once it goes live, they will have free shipping, and since it is in Portland, it shouldn't be a long wait if I need something in a hurry.

I have a fantasy about this year's reunion. It involves an empty smokers' wall outside the hotel, and a shit load of healthier Planeteers.

Ohh.... vanilla menthol. I have a menthol juice and a French vanilla. Time to blend my own. I wonder if that's a vapers version of 'roll your own'?

I know what you mean about the difference in inhaling. Although I do longer pulls, just not a lot of force. Welcome back to vaping, your lungs thank you.

Morning Vapers...

Roll your own cracks me up.

I like the black raspberry chocolate cheesecake flavor I mix.

Still learning and enjoying it.

I got my set up yesterday in the mail. I got the ego-c and some black tea juice. I put the thing together and it would not work. I was so upset! Tried again this morning and Imhad not put in the atomizer! Sigh.

I love the black tea flavor!!!! I am not getting as much of a throat hit as I would like but this could be operator error. I get some tobacco flavored today I hope.

Thanks for the thread and all the advice everyone!

YAAAAAYYYYY!!!!!

The black tea flavor is a mild flavor and you might find a better throat hit with something like RY4 or a fruit flavor. Glad you are digging it!
